2018 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Montpelier serves as the focal point of this Vermont landscape, where the confluence of the Winooski River and the North Branch Winooski River historically dictated the capital's growth. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Dumpling Hill and Hersey Hill, which overlook a network of small settlements like Shady Rill, Putnamville, and Adamant. For local historians and genealogists, the map reveals a dense concentration of burial grounds, including the Green Mount Cem and the Elm Street Cem near the city center, as well as the outlying Tinkham Cem and Quake Cem. The drainage patterns of Herrick Brook, Martins Brook, and Blanchard Brook illustrate how the terrain transitions from the urbanized river valley to the more rural, pond-dotted highlands of the north.
